[Special 003] Body Switch: Usagi-chan

[no_use_running]

[Well! The picture in the journal is most certainly not Mizuno Ami. It is, however, still an Asian girl, but a few years younger, with an unusual hairdo of buns and pigtails.]

I'm Usagi-chan!

[And something in Ami realizes that while some people in Luceti will remember Usagi in blond form from while she was here, many won't, and they won't know

[Well. When Robert was worrying about what sort of form changes that his friends might have, them turning into their best friends was not one that immediately came to mind - though in retrospect, it was perfectly logical. Nonetheless, he was more than a little surprised to see the somewhat-familiar face of Ami as something not-so-familiar.]

Ah, Doctor Mizuno, so they have affected you too... And your best friend? That must be... poignant for you. [And painful. Robert doesn't even want to think about how much that might have hurt him if he'd turned into a certain person.]

... Do you perhaps need any assistance, or are you alright at the moment? [Robert was serious when he said he wanted to help Ami if she had a problem. After all, it's the least he can do. She basically singlehandedly stopped him from freezing, taught him to use the journals and gave him a place to live.]

[This seems to make Robert think for a moment, and another small smile graces his features; he murmurs softly to himself.] Me, a teacher here... ... [His next sentence is a bit louder, meant more for Ami than himself.] Well, Helios did say something about needing more substitute teachers. If there is any sort of science program here, I would welcome the opportunity to share my knowledge. [Don't tell him how pedantic he is! He might not be used to teaching people, but he certainly wouldn't mind trying. At any rate, it would probably get him closer to some of the intellectuals of Luceti.]

Mm. I'm also doing that. I was asked to be one of the substitutes, since it isn't really right for me to attend as a student anymore.

Re: [Action]

[semper_cogitans]

Ah, but one is never too old to be a student. Though I suppose it would be uncomfortable to be both a teacher and a student at the same time...

Regardless, I'd like to apply myself as a substitute. Who should I contact for the information?

Re: [Action]

[no_use_running]

I suppose you could ask generally. I don't think only person has been organizing it.

Re: [Action]

[semper_cogitans]

I'll be certain to do so then.

[Robert sort of sits there in silence, sipping the tea, until he runs out of it. Then he puts the cup down and smiles a little.]

I really do appreciate allowing me to spend some time with you. Even though originally it was for your benefit and not mine, I've enjoyed myself immensely, Doctor Mizuno.

Re: [Action]

[no_use_running]

No, I was glad.

[They don't seem to get past polite phrases well; but she's comfortable with that so early on after meeting.]

I always enjoy meeting new people.

This, despite a slight holdover of her shyness, is true. It gives her new chances to make those friends.]

Re: [Action]

[semper_cogitans]

(OOC: The reason why they can't get past the polite phrases is mostly because Robert's a derp. *shot*)

[Robert nods; Ami has that same slight-but-evident nervousness that he knows permeates himself. It's comforting, in a way, to know she's a little shy as well.]

I hope I've proved to be an interesting person so far for you, then... Your career certainly fascinates me, as does your obvious maturity and intellect at your age. I suspect that I could learn much from you.
